A Poem on the Website of |
All the Way to the
Grand Canyon
Finding an abandoned baby doll at the Petrified Forest entrance sign, A girl like me wonders, "How does one leave behind such a well loved token of security?" Was mom too busy with the other children after dad snapped a family picture of everyone in front of the entrance sign, saying 'Cheese!’?” A girl like me concludes, "There is sorrow in a minivan, miles down the interstate, dad's white knuckles on the steering wheel." A girl like me decides, "You have to leave the doll right where it is because any minute now that minivan will turn around, on a rescue mission, and that baby will clutch her security all the way to the Grand Canyon." |
